The U.S. has become one of the unhealthiest nations in the world. Obesity-related illnesses are steadily increasing as the cause of chronic disease, disability, and even death, and efforts are increasing to combat our nation's high rate of childhood obesity.

With the number of children across the nation attending schools, their school lunches are one thing to blame for the over-estimated intake of calories, fat, carbohydrates, and protein with limited nutrient-density.

Afterall, healthy eating is essential and the benefits extend far beyond the size of the clothes our children wear. Healthy eating begins with the decision to make choices with  health and well-being in mind.

In this blog you can read about the positive impact that knowing more about proper nutrition, as well as physical activity, at a young age can help shape our nation into a more healthy one. With an intiative to make school lunches across the nation even more healthy, the road of childhood obesity can potentially come to a road block.
